  • Building a Company as a Non-Technical Founder

    David Kolodny, co-founder of Wilbur Labs, shares how non-technical founders can lean on product and engineering to build and guide successful teams. You may be surprised to learn that not all startup founders are technical by the classic definition of “knowing how to code.” Rarely does a single person know how to code, lead a sales team, manage accounting, review legal documents, and so on. Not knowing how to code shouldn’t stop you from building a company.
